Dormestic Godess: Brownies (in the Microwave)!

Not only is this a fun activity to do with a group of friends, but also you completely eliminate the hassle of using and cleaning a massive amount of equipment or utensils. Hot, gooey, dark chocolaty brownies in a few short minutes using the microwave and simple ingredients? We can call them Brownies A La Anytime. The fact that these brownies provide instant gratification and that they may be too easy to whip up is a wondrous thing (or very possibly a bad thing…). While having 4 a day is not recommended, feel free to indulge once in a while.

Brownies A La Anytime

4 Tablespoons Flour

3 Tablespoons Sugar

Pinch Of Salt

1/8 teaspoon Baking Powder

2 Tablespoons Cocoa Powder (Ex. Hershey’s Dark Cocoa Powder)

1 Tablespoon Melted Butter

1-2 Tablespoons Oil (such as vegetable, canola or coconut)

1 Tablespoon of Water

1/4 Teaspoon of Vanilla

You can top with a few chocolate chips or nuts and ice cream if you like.

Melt butter in a microwave safe bowl or cup (takes about 12 seconds).

Add the oil to melted butter and mix well. If you want a moister brownie, go for the full two tablespoons. If you prefer a really solid, dense brownie (which is absolutely delicious to top with ice cream adding a lot of moisture), use one tablespoon of oil.

Add in the vanilla and water, stir well to combine.

In a separate bowl or cup, combine all dry ingredients.

Press it into a ramekin. You could also use a mug.

Add a few chocolate chips to the top if desired.

Start with 45 seconds in the microwave and you may end up cooking for about one minute and ten seconds or so.
